Do expect that within a year this company will be subject to a ‘sophisticated attack’ - which generally means that some clown (probably in higher management - because the rules don’t apply to them) clicked on a link in an obvious phishing email and coughed up their credentials. And naturally because they are the Senior Vice-President of Marketing and toilet paper, they absolutely have to have full admin rights over the entire system.

Cynic? Me? Absolutely not!
. . that makes 2 of us then, and I agree, you can't make people (of any age/sex) safe on the internet when the internet itself is unsafe
